From the YGB Black Curriculum: All About Love

All About Love by bell hooks discusses love and romance in the context of gender and sexism in the United States. In the book, hooks argues that in modern society, men have been conditioned to resist love, while women have been conditioned to sometimes love too much - even when that love is not reciprocated. Themes of the book include respect, trust, care, self-love, and open and honest communication.
